I don't want to make any enemies here, but I actually like dandelions. ;-)
From "Poems for Memorization"
Rod and Staff Publishers
"Oh dandelion, yellow as gold,
What do you do all day?"
"I just wait here in the tall green grass
Till the children come out to play."
"O dandelion, yellow as gold,
What do you do all night?"
"I wait and wait til the cold dews fall
And my hair grows long and white."
"And what do you do when your hair is white
And the children come out to play?"
"They take me up in their dimpled hands
And blow my hair away."

Beautiful collage! I like them too, they remind me of my children. They love picking them for me! We have plenty in our yard,lol.
Wow, how pretty! I like them too.
Quite a beautiful collage! I love dandelions too - they are so simple, yet pretty, it's hard to believe they are weeds! :-)

When I was a child in UK, if we picked a bunch of dandelions, we would always be told that we would wet the bed.... which explains the French name for dandelions... "piss-en-lit"!
And we would write on our hands with the juice that comes out of the broken stems.
Wow, makes the dandelion look like a well loved flower. A nice collage, and I love the poem.
Lovely montage, and poem

What a sweet poem. I like Dandelions too. They are such a brilliant yellow. My friend calls them Meadow Daisies. MB
